The indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) has said that Biafra is not from Igboland.
The group said many Nigerians do not have adequate knowledge of the history of Biafra and so do not understand its origin.
Setting the records straight, the IPOB advised Nigerians to research more on the history of Biafra, the Igbo and many other tribes from the South-East and South-South region.

The IPOB spokesperson Powerful Emma, in a statement said: "However, we advise you to go and research far enough for this history for you to know where you came from and where you are going. Biafra is the last destination."
"Biafra was never from Igbos, Igbo started from Edo state.
"Igboland started from Edo State, Igbanke (Igbo-Akiri) to be precise, all the way to Opobo Rivers State known as Igwenga, before the destructive and deceptive White British man came with his Bible and machine guns," Emma said.
Emma said that the whole of Anioma in Delta state are Igbo speaking people.

"Not only that, they are descendants of the great Chime from Arochukwu hence they are known as Umu-Chime meaning children of Chime till this morning. Ask anybody from Delta state those called Umu-Chime and they will gladly point you to Igbo speaking communities in the same Delta state," he said.
Stating that Asaba was originally from a place called Ahaba in Abia stat, Emma also said that the Ibibio people are intertwined with the Igbos.
"Their cousins are Ahaba Imenyi in Abia State till today. In some signs in Asaba you will see that the more sensible ones are changing the name back to Ahaba.
"Nevertheless, the Ibibio people which is in Akwa Ibom State are so intertwined with Igbo that people have forgotten that the very successful Abiriba community of Abia State are actually people that reverse migrated from Akwa Ibom.

"Abiriba people are Ibibio by ancestry that is why they remain the only group that is matrilineal whilst the rest of Igbo people are patrilineal. Don't take my word for it, go to the beautiful Abiriba town to find out for yourself.
"How about the great Annang people? Think about the revered Òkōnkō fraternity in Igboland, predominantly in Abia State today, where do you think it came from? Òkōnkō is purely an Annang traditional cult which proves that Annang people were not only part and parcel of Biafra from the beginning but also eternally intertwined with Igbo speaking people.
"Some of the poorly educated politicians from Akwa Ibom and Cross River don't know this because Hausa Fulani oil dependent parasites and their Yoruba lecherous slaves won't allow them to, the Hausa fulani oligarchy uses the printing and electronic media outfits to misled them.
"Now how about Efik or let us call it Cross River State. Those of you from Arochukwu and parts of Bende, where do you think you got your Ekpe fraternity from? Yes, you are right. Ekpe is originally an Efik occult so is Ekpo or masquerade we have today.
"When you are dancing to the rhythm of your Ekpe cultural dance, be it during new yam festival or Christmas period, spare a thought for the Efik people that gave it to you.

"If Igbo, Anioma Delta State, Ibibio/Annang of Akwa Ibom State and Efik are not the same Biafran people, how come they share deep cultural, linguistic and social heritage?
Please tell the world what is the meaning of South South again or Niger Delta if I may ask? Too many questions we know but how else can I expose the Hausa Fulani divide and conquer, Yoruba backstabbing nature or the ignorant of those that call themselves Niger Delta and South South but refuse their real identity which is Biafra.
Truth cannot be hidden, it is matter of time it will expose," Emma said.
